Each department (IE) MPD has radios that can be switched from talk group to talk group. Each radio has a (ID) and this ID is transmitted with each radio call. With PRO96COM software that can be downloaded from the front page here you see it log each radio ID number, it then gets saved to a file named (radios) you will also see the talk groups that that radio is transmitting on, so it is a 2+2 thing. Problem with the PRO96COM software is that you can not hear the audio (on a PRO 96 Radio shack scanner) as the computer logs the traffic. By having two scanners side by side you could do better. This software is also used with the Bearcat scanners and I think they will also do audio as you log. I don't think the local PD or fire have the ability (YET) but plan on having the ability to GPS and ID all calls and log them unit by unit.
Knowing each units number has no real interest to me, but knowing what department is using each talk group is interesting.
